Gervonta Davis doesn’t care if boxing fans are bothered by him fighting Jake Paul rather than taking a rematch with Lamont Roach.

The unbeaten WBA lightweight champion stated exactly that during a press conference Monday night in New York to promote his November 14 bout with Paul at Kaseya Center in Miami.

“Why should I care? Why should I care what they think, when y’all switch?,” Davis asked. “Y’all switch. Somebody can have a bad day and y’all switching on who y’all favorite fighter is or who this person is supposed to fight. Like y’all need to sit back and be fans and just enjoy the sport. Like y’all even talk about people personal lives. Like when it come to that?”

A frustrated Davis is obviously bothered by the public’s reaction to his 12-round majority draw with Roach on March 1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The powerful southpaw from Baltimore entered the ring as a 16-1 favorite, yet Roach gave Davis the most difficult fight of his career.

If referee Steve Willis correctly called a knockdown when Davis took a knee early in the ninth round, the three-division champion would’ve lost on the scorecards.

Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs), seemingly intent to redeem himself, exercised his contractual right to an immediate rematch with Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs). It was pushed back twice, however, before Baltimore’s Davis ultimately decided to oppose Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) in a higher-profile event Netflix will stream worldwide.

Paul, a cruiserweight, most recently weighed in 65 pounds higher than Davis did for his fight with Roach. The rules regarding their fight haven’t been specified.

The prevailing opinion among boxing fans is Davis didn’t want to fight Roach again. The 30-year-old Davis argued Monday that he is held to a different standard than some of his contemporaries.

“And y’all keep on talking about fighting somebody?,” Davis said before alluding to Shakur Stevenson. “Didn’t he just have a fight? Didn’t he just have a fight? And what happened? What happened? What happened? He won, right? But how he look in it? Exactly. But y’all say some different [expletive] when it’s me, right? Because y’all want me to lose.

“When y’all see people in that limelight too long, they want somebody else, you know, to come take that spot. That’s why it’s always like, c’mon, bro. That’s what happened with Floyd. Y’all seen him too much and once y’all seen him so much, y’all started hatin’ on him. Like it turned from love to hate. You know?”
